I am interested in a road bike, primarily for longer distances and not racing. (I posted on that forum as well, but would like this forums perspective if that is ok) Anyway, I would like your opinion: here are what I am looking at. Any thoughts (FYI: just using REI for their specs page)?
Here is a table I put together of the ones I am interested (side by side). Unfortunately, I couldn't get all the exact same info, specifically for the specialized spectre triple (couldn't "decode" its specs to match up with the rest eck). I will be spending a day and going to places to test drive them FYI.
